I don't really disagree with what you're saying but... Verizon is $50/mo/5GB and that's LTE (4G) -- and if they don't subsidize the device, no contract. Metro

I don't really disagree with what you're saying but... Verizon is $50/mo/5GB and that's LTE (4G) -- and if they don't subsidize the device, no contract. MetroPCS is $60/mo (including taxes) for unlimited phone service including LTE. I don't like what they're doing here but if their service is any good (doubt it), that's a good deal.
